First story of 2019 in @indianexpress #mattupongal #tamilnadu #brihadeshwaratemple #instapic #instatravel #travelstories #storiesofindia #festivalofindia

With a concept of salt mound this museum, largest in India and one of its kind, is a tribute to #Gandhi and his vision and tireless efforts towards freedom of India. The salt march against the heavy taxes levied by British started at Sabarmati Gandhi ashram at Ahmedabad ended at beach of #Dandi where Mahatma Gandhi defied British to access salt from sea and salt pans directly. The march that started with a handful of people became a massive peaceful congregation of more than 50000 people joining from all over. This act of defying became a civil disobedience movement where all began to disobey irrational British rules without being violent. The architecture of the museum denotes a salt mound and us aptly named #DandiKutir. The museum houses various life stories of Gandhi presented on screens, audio-visual projections, pictures and texts. This concrete conical shell has ramps and elevators that lead to three levels of the museum at #gandhinagar #gujarat @gujarattourism @dandikutir #incredibleindia #astonishingindia #travelpics #travelstories #indiagram #indiapics #storiesofindia #structuraldesign #travelwriter #travelstagram #instatravel #newstructure #engineering #architecture

World's tallest statue at 182 m made of #bronze of India's #IronMan #SardarVallabhBhaiPatel #statueofunity at #kevadia . The statue has a viewing gallery that is accessible from inside the statue. The podium on which the statue stands has museum and picture gallery on life of Patel. Sardar Patel was instrumental in uniting the various states after British left India for good. I was hosted by @gujarattourism to visit the tent city and statue of unity with an aim to promote tourism. @statueofunity #incredibleindia #astonishingindia #instapic #instatravel #travelstagram #travelstories #storiesofindia #indiapics #indiagram

#internationalkitefestival at #ahmedabad kick-starts with kite fliers from 45countries warming up and taking to skies with variety of kites. In its 30th year, the kite festival has become popular and gained grander proportions from the localised street game to people from entire country and outside eager to join in. The usual kite flying in India is a game where the flier who cuts maximum threads 'manja' of others' kites emerges winner. The kite fliers then prepare a special thin thread with glass powder to sharpen it's cutting capacity. During the festival of Sankrant families are seen flying kites from roof tops. When the rival kite gets cut the exuberant family gives a call 'wo kata' in Hindi or 'kai po che' in Gujarati which means 'it's a cut'. Kite flying is an ode to the sun for abundance of crops. #uttarayan #indiapics #indiagram #travelpix #travelstories #storiesofindia #instatravel #travelstagram #festival #kites #kiteflying #sankrant

Such was the charisma of the Mahatma that people joined in from all walks of life. And that is what forced British to finally leave India. His philosophy still influences. One such follower dedicates this portrait of #Gandhi which is displayed at #Sabarmatiashram #ahmedabad @gujarattourism The intriguing and unique thing about the portrait is that it is made of peanut shells. Roasted to various degrees the shells acquired different shades which were then used to create the image for light and shade effect. #incredibleindia #art #creativity #instaart #uniqueart #travelpix #travelstories #indiapics #travelstagram #instatravel
